Louie & Pat Pomeroy Scholarship

The Pomeroy family has deep roots in the Amherst area, dating back to 1853 when they homesteaded a farm in the Town of Lanark.

The International Bank of Amherst was established in 1893 by Louis A. Pomeroy (grandfather of Louie) and others. There has been a Pomeroy family member affiliated with the bank since its inception – five generations so far!

The future of the youth of the community is important to the Pomeroy family. The people in the Amherst area have been loyal and supportive to the Pomeroy family and to the bank. This endowment scholarship was created in 2005. The Pomeroy family appreciates the existence of the Tomorrow River Scholarship Foundation.
